Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue in version 2.4.21, the team is aware.

Similar reports: Constantly stuck in "Planning Next Moves" or "Generating..."

Try this:

  • Switch from Auto to a specific model (Sonnet 4.5 or GPT 5). Auto can sometimes cause these freezes.
  • Run cursor --disable-extensions in your terminal. If it works, the issue is likely caused by an extension.
  • Check your network settings: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics
  • Try in a new empty project or a new chat. It can help to open a different project, then switch back to yours.

I need a bit more info:

  1. Can you share the Request ID? (top right menu in the chat > Copy Request ID)
  2. Which extensions do you have installed?
  3. What’s the result of Network Diagnostics?

I’ll pass this to the team along with your details.
